Wheel Fever - by Craig Hill

The Hot Volvo C30

August 28th 2006 09:33
Wow, I really can't belive that I used the term 'hot' to describe a Volvo. I've never really liked or disliked Volvo's. I have just always seen them as a respectable car with a large focus on saftey. Their image has changed largely though, with new designs and the agressive advertising that took place a few years back. Remember the 'Bloody Volvo' adds?

Take a look at this:

Volvo C30 (Volvo Promotional Image)



I drive an Astra Coupe and could easily see myself upgrading to the C30. The C30 is a shorter base of the Ford Focus and Mazda 3. The car will also use a similar motor (162kw turbo) as the Ford Focus XR5. Not sure when the C30 will hit out shores nor of the pricing. Hopefully it will be similar to the Astra Coupe.

Also heard that Holden is investigating diesel and hybrid motors for the VE Commodore! Interesting..
